Chapter 54: Emphasizing commendation and rewards for the armory workshop craftsmen, Lu Yuan!

When Su Liyan entered the room, Lu Yuan had just finished putting on his clothes and got out of bed.

Looking at his extraordinarily beautiful wife, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart, then he embraced Su Liyan and rubbed her affectionately.

This caused Su Liyan's face to flush with shyness, while her heart felt a surge of happiness.

Brother~ I heard from Changliang that you didn't get up at noon, so I hurried to make you a meal~

Su Liyan tightly wrapped her arms around her husband's waist, her beautiful face flushed and slightly raised as she looked at Lu Yuan and spoke in a coquettish voice.

Lu Yuan, holding Su Liyan, shook his head and said:

No need, tonight we'll go out for roast duck. You've been in Huangcheng for so long, brother hasn't taken you to try it yet.

Upon hearing the two words "roast duck," Su Liyan was momentarily stunned; she had heard of it since childhood but had never eaten it.

"But... roast duck must be expensive, right?"

Lu Yuan then held Su Liyan and sat down, letting her sit on his lap, and said:

"Today we were supposed to take Changliang to register, but it's a good chance to treat Uncle Wang to a meal; we'll all go, so you won't have to cook tonight."

Hearing this, Su Liyan nodded repeatedly.

Afterwards Lu Yuan took out a cigarette, held it in his mouth, Su Liyan obediently lit it for him, then Lu Yuan took a puff and said:

"What were you and Changliang arguing about outside just now, making such a fuss?"

Su Liyan pursed her lips slightly and said:

"He was just feeding the chickens with my brother's crab, and I said a couple of things to him."

Lu Yuan heard it but had no particular reaction, merely nodding and saying:

"It's fine, I've had enough of it these past couple days; mainly the crab has been left for several days and isn't very tasty anymore, so throwing the kitchen scraps to the chickens is fine."

This time Su Liyan didn't feel sorry, because in the village crab is normally used to feed chickens; villagers don't like eating it, and she doesn't know why her husband likes it so much.

After finishing the cigarette, Lu Yuan took his wife's tender little hand and slipped it into his pocket.

Stepping outside, he saw Su Changliang feeding the horses; upon seeing Lu Yuan come out, he prepared to lead the horse out.

Lu Yuan quickly said:

"No need, just lock the door; we'll go on foot today."

Su Changliang nodded repeatedly.

After the three of them strolled to Wang Ping's house, Wang Ping also happened to finish work.

After Lu Yuan said they were going to eat roast duck, Wang Ping first refused, but then agreed.

There was no way around it; Wang Ping was also craving it.

His children are seven or eight years old; they're about to reach an age where money is needed, but there isn't enough, so Wang Ping can't even afford decent food now.

In the end, the four of them went to the most famous roast duck restaurant in all of Huangcheng.

"Two hanging-oven roast ducks, each person two small lotus-leaf pancakes, scallion strips, cucumber, and sweet bean sauce—naturally none of these could be missing."

"The leftover duck frame from the final cutting was taken back and simmered into a pot of rich duck-frame congee."

"This meal truly delighted the four of them."

"This matter was naturally settled; tomorrow Su Changliang will go to work with Wang Ping."

"When returning home in the evening, Lu Yuan led the way with his wife's tender little hand in his pocket, chatting and laughing."

"Su Changliang followed behind."

"As Lu Yuan walked ahead, he suddenly thought of something, then turned back to look at Su Changliang and said:"

"Changliang, how much money did you bring back from home this time?"

"Su Changliang startled, then hurried over running and said:"

"My family gave me two pieces of money, brother-in-law."

"Lu Yuan nodded, then swept out three silver dollars from his pocket and threw them to Su Changliang, saying:"

"Take it; a man can lack anything in his pocket, but he must not lack money—this is a man's confidence, you know?"

"Su Changliang quickly took the three coins, nodding repeatedly and said excitedly:"

"Thank you, brother-in-law; you're really good to me!"

"Meanwhile, Su Liyan, seeing this from the side, became anxious and said:"

"Brother, why are you giving him so much money? He's about to start work and earn his own money."

"Lu Yuan then pinched his wife's tender little hand and said:"

"He's going to a new place to work; he'll definitely need to spend money up front, it's unavoidable, so don't worry about it—just listen to me."

"Since her husband said that, Su Liyan couldn't really say anything either."

"Meanwhile, Lu Yuan led Su Liyan forward while turning his head and said:"

"There's no bed for you at home; tonight find an inn to stay in, tomorrow go find Uncle Wang yourself—after all, you've already registered."

"In the evening I still need to play with my wife; there's no way I can let Changliang come back with us."

"After Su Changliang was stunned, he then spoke with a solemn, earnest expression:"

"It's fine, brother-in-law; I'll sleep on a makeshift bed, and I'll watch over my sister for you—if she treats you badly and makes you work, I'll go home and tell my mother to discipline my sister!"

"Upon hearing this, Su Liyan's cheeks flushed instantly, and she looked at Lu Yuan with a hint of resentment."

"Lu Yuan wore a puzzled expression and said:"

"Your sister treats me very well, and I don't do any work either."

"Su Changliang stared with wide eyes and said:"

"Brother-in-law, don't spoil my sister too much; I've seen that you're exhausted from sleeping all day, and you're surely being ordered around by my sister at night to work—this time, if she dares, I'll tell my mother."

"Lu Yuan: ……"

"Rural children are still relatively simple; unlike kids on Earth who are seven or eight years old, holding a phone while playing Honor of Kings and chewing grass at the same time."

However, the problem is that Lu Yuan is really actually truly lighthearted.

Because once Su Liyan's emotions are aroused, Lu Yuan doesn't even need to move; he just lies down on the bed and watches Su Liyan's performance, and that's enough—he's not tired at all.

Immediately Lu Yuan pursed his lips and said:

"I was doing something else, it has nothing to do with your sister; stop wronging your sister, your sister treats me very well."

Su Changliang blinked and said:

"Like that……"

Lu Yuan nodded and said:

"Right, so you go find an inn and sleep early."

But Su Changliang shook his head and said:

"It's fine, brother-in-law, I'll just go back and sleep on the floor; it's a waste of money. Brother-in-law, you treat me so well, I will definitely repay you; tomorrow morning I'll make you breakfast."

Repay?

You damn well call this repaying kindness with enmity!!

Lu Yuan also didn't waste words with Su Changliang, turned and kicked him in the butt, saying:

Get lost!

Also, from now on when you talk to your sister, don't be rude, or I'll deal with you!

Having said that, Lu Yuan took the blissful-faced Su Liyan and went home, leaving the wronged-faced Su Changliang.

My brother-in-law must have been forced by my sister; next time I return home I will definitely tell Mother, I will surely save your brother-in-law!

Su Changliang said with great determination.

…………

In the following days, nothing much happened, Lu Yuan lived very comfortably.

However, the weather is getting colder.

Otherwise, nothing else; Lu Yuan just played around day by day, and besides practicing Supreme Ultimate Fist, there was nothing else.

This little life is so comfortable~

That day, in the early morning, Lu Yuan continued to burrow under the blankets and sleep deeply.

Meanwhile, the Forging Bureau, at the Bing Jia Chang, was holding a mobilization meeting.

Over two thousand workers of Bing Jia Chang stood on its drill ground, listening to the leaders' excited shouts on stage.

The workers below didn't listen carefully; they just felt the weather getting colder and colder, and the wind on their faces felt like a knife cut.

Everyone lowered their heads to avoid the cold wind.

At that same time, the leader holding the loudspeaker that output energy via the spirit power ball, exclaimed excitedly:

And since this Snow Dragon Sunlight Armor can be restored, we should highly praise and reward Bing Jia Chang's artisan Lu Yuan!!

However, Lu Yuan's coworker is in poor health and has already taken internal retirement; from now on, Lu Yuan's coworker's wife Su Liyan will go on stage to receive the award in his place, everyone applauds!

Eh??

At this moment, Su Liyan, who was lowering her head downstairs, thinking about what to cook for her man tonight, froze.

Eh??

High praise and reward for my man??

Thanks to Brother Chen Yunlin for the 100 book coins, thank you so much, mwah mwah~

Thanks to Brother Wu Ming for the 300 book coins, thank you so much, mwah mwah~
